from Galveston to Liverpool and tri-
weekly line from Galveston to New
York, proves true it will make that one
of the greatest railroad sytems on this
continent. Itought also to prove of
incalcufable salne to the farmers of
the Great Arkansas Valley. For it
will give their products direct outlet

THE Ness City Sintinel says that the
reason the Great Bend base ball nine
did not play better game was because
the boys need practice. This is true,
and our boys should set to work at once
to remedy this defect. But Ness City
will find when Great Bend is downed
in the series which has been begun
there will have to be deal of hard
PLAYING done by the opposition.

SATURDAY morning cat 10 o'clock
William "A! Wheeler, ex-yice president
of the United States, died at his home
in Malone, New York. Though not a
great man he was far above the aver
age politician, and he filed the high
office to which he was called in a most
creditable and exemplary manner.

A Great Profession.

An old fellow entered lawyers of
flee and excitedly exclaimed: ''Look
here, Colonel, understand you have
been employed by wilkins to bring
suit against me?''
''Yes, sir.7
but, Colonel, Wilkens accuses me
of dishonesty"
''What of that?'
"What of it! Why, last year you de-
Tended me against just such charge. "
'Yes, L remember"
"Of course you do. You said during
the trial that you had never met a
more honest man than am, and swore
that L could not be guilty of a dishon-
est action"
"Yes, believe L did,
81 know you did, and, sir, do you
know what I'm going to do?''
"What?"
I've got witnesses, and I'm going
to prove it in court that you said it.
Then what will you dO?''
Acknowledge that said it, of
course
"Then the jury will decide in my fa-
vor.''
Il think not"
Cant help it,
''Oh, yes, for 1 will tell the court
how much faith had in you last year,
that l would indeed have staked my
all on you, and that was never more
painfully shocked i'll my life than 1
was when, Il few days ago, received
convincing proof of your rascality. My
dear SIR the lawyer continued, II am
every day impressed more and more
with the broadness and extensive COM
prehension Of the legal profession.
Don't be in hurry. Always glad to
see you, and will cheerfully serve you
at any time. .''-ATkdnSd,C Trdreler.

EDITORS HERALD:-In regard to the
article in the HERALD Of to-day about
tie Old Mission of San Fernando. allow
me to state the following gratifying in
formation, The Geo. X. Porter ranch
of $4,000 acres was sold about three
months ago to Los Angeles syndicate
of capitalist SITS for $44, 200 and a Porter
Land and Water Company has been re-
Gently incorporated for developing the
water supply and for other purposes.
But the purchase OF this fine rancho did
not include the Mission and Mission
lands OF all. There was long legal
contest between Mr.. Porter and the
Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles
and Monterey for title to the Mission
property, and the Bishop won the suit
and holds the title to this historic spot
which cannot be purchased. Since the
repairs have been made to the old
churches at Santa Barbara, San Gabriel
and other places it is contemplated to
restore the old church at San Fernando
to its original appearance and with its
ancient appointments. When the new
railway shall be made from San Fernan-
do to the Simi, the Mission will be an
| important station and point of interest
| 10 travellers. The restoration of the
Mission church and residence hall of the
padres oan be easily accomplished.

How willie Shields, Fortune
Suddenly Vanished.
A very bright boy named Willie
Shields has for some months conducted
fruit and lemonade stand on Spring
street in front Of the Court house. On
the approach Of the Fourth of July
Willie laid in large stock of fireworks.
In fact he invested his whole available cap.
ital in those infammable articles which
are 60 dear to the jevenile heart. Last
night about IL 80 some vandsl came along
and set fire to q package of
bombs while Willie's back was turned,
and in short time the air
was filled with whizzing and kissing
masterpieces of the Chinese art. The
little fellows stand and stock in trade
was completely destroyed, and the peo-
pie who happened to be on the street
had o grand exhibition of free fireworks.
Financially, Willie was completely
ruined, and kind.hearted DR.. Meredith.
the Coroner, after inquiring the little
fellows loss, started subscription list
to reimburse him and those on the street
Clipped in freely, and quite a sum of
money was realized. To-day the sub.
scription paper will be circulated and
every body should help the little fellow.
He had about $3.50 invested in his stand.
He was very much affected when the
sum raised last night was placed in his
hands.

VIRGINIA CITY. July 3--No connec-
on has yet been made, with the Best Il
plcher cross cut, by the relief party
7yoksing from the Consolidated Califor-
mia and Virginia mine to rescue The VIC
Tins of the Gould & Curry fire. The
ground has grown more unfavorable
than ever for rapid progress. The un-
derground foreman, who has just come
up from The point of operations. says the
drifts are being advanced north and
south from the bottom OF the
incline winze to the end of the drill
holes sent in ahead. Every time blast
is fred it is hoped that it will break
through and end the suspense. Aprop.
osition was made to-day to send several
barrels of strong beef broth down through
the compressor pipe, SO that ii the i'm
prisoned miners are still alive they can
be kept from starving until reached by
the relief party. 1t is not known
whether the suggestion will be adopted,
but it is urged that the experiment
should be tried, as it is as easy to send
strong. thin broth through the pipe as it
is to force water through it.

WAsHINGToN, July 3.-rhe following
is the weekly weather crop bulle tin is
sued by the Signal Office to-day. Tha
weather has been slightly warmer than
usual in the Northern States during the
week, the average daily excess beipg
generally less than two degrees, while
throughout the Southern States it has
been cooler than usual, the average
daily temperature, ranging from three
to seven degrees below the normal. The
average daily temperature for the season
from january to July 2, 1887, has
been less than one degree difference from
the normal in the agricultural districts,
except in the Southern States, where it
has been in excess of the usual tempera.
ture. In the cotton region it has been
slightly reduced, and the deficiency on
the Suuth Atlantic coast slightly aug
mented.
THE RAINFALL
During the week has been slightly in
excess in the greater portion of the
cotton region and generally from the
Mississippi river westward oyer the
eastern slope of the Rocky mountains
Heavy rains for the week ranging from
three to ten inches are reported from
southern Georgia and thence westward
to Texas and almost daily rains occurred
in the Mississippi valley from the gull
states northward to Wisconsin and
Minnesota, thus ending the drought
previously existing in the portions OF the
upper Missouri valley. Rains are re-
ported this month from the State oi
Mississippi and from cotton, corn, to-
bacco and wheat regions west of the
Alleghanies. From Michigan to the
Ohio valley on the east Atlantic Coast
there was less rain than usual for the
week, the deficiency amounting to about
one inch The large deficiency OF the
rainfall for the season from January lst
to July I'd over the cotton regior, large
ly the result of the deficient rainfall dur
ing the winter and early spring months
Considered with reference to the months
of May and June the rainfall in the
greater portion of the cotton regions
amounted to from 10 to 90 per cent of til
average amount for that period during
the same months. Less than so pei
cent Of the average amount of rainfall
occurred in the lower Ohio Valley, Iudi
ana, Illinois, south Wisconsin,, low,
aud southwest Minnesota. The rain
which have occurred during the pas
week, and which continue this morning
are timely, and will probably improv'
the condition of the staple crops.
